[PATCH] notes: allow merging from arbitrary references

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jacob Keller <jacob.keller@xxxxxxxxx>

Create a new expansion function, expand_loose_notes_ref which will
expand any ref using get_sha1, but falls back to expand_notes_ref if
this fails. The contents of the strbuf will be either the hex string of
the sha1, or the expanded notes ref. It is expected to be re-expanded
using get_sha1 inside the notes merge machinery, and there is no real
error checking provided at this layer.

Since we now support merging from non-notes refs, remove the test case
associated with that behavior. Add a test case for merging from a
non-notes ref.

I do not remember what version this was since it has been an age ago
that I sent the previous code. This is mostly just a rebase onto current
next. I believe I have covered everything previous reviewers noted.

I'm interested in whether this is the right direction, as my longterm
goal is to be able to push/pull notes to a specific namespace (probably
refs/remote-notes/*, since actually modifying to use
refs/remotes/notes/* is difficult to send to users, and remote-notes
makes the most useful sense). The first part of this is allowing merge
to come from an arbitrary reference, as currently it is not really
possible to merge from refs/remote-notes as we'd need it to be.
